Dancekool 2015

In 2014 and 2015 our final year Chiropractic Interns attended the Dancekool competition finals in Sydney's Inner West. This event is quite popular with the interns as they are able to experience a dance battle competition whilst treating the participants!

Sydney World Masters Games

Working together with Sports Chiropractic Australia, Macquarie University interns were a proud member of the medical team supporting the competitors of the 2009 World Masters Games, hosted in Sydney from the 10 – 18th October 2009. This was the 7th World Masters Games, and with over 30, 000 competitors participating this is the world’s largest multi sporting event.

Competition ran across 9 days with our teams in attendance at 16 of the 28 sporting venues including Tennis, Hockey, Volleyball, Beach Volleyball, Surf Life Saving, Basketball, Rowing, Canoeing, Kayaking, Soccer, Netball, Rugby Union, Touch Football, Softball and Cycling. In addition to these events our teams also operated a chiropractic clinic within the main Dome of Sydney Olympic Park from the 8th October.

The Macquarie University interns are grateful for the many local, national and international chiropractors whom donated their time to supervise and share their expertise during the games. Macquarie University also recognises the financial support of the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia (National) whom supplied branded equipment which is now utilised at local fieldwork events.
